Unsure: SmartWool Galloon Tights

I tend to hoard tights, especially in the transitional season of fall.

But I validate my obsession in the knowledge that – generally – I’m not spending a ton of money.

But that brings me to SmartWool – I know they are cushy and warm and cozy and will make me happy – but even with the adorable pattern, at $47 are the Galloon Tights a little excessive for what they are?

I mean, they are TIGHT for the money I’ve bought entire DRESSES.

However, they look durable, so if they last throughout the winter, and keep me warm, and maybe even ward off the next plague, maybe they are worth it? Plus…I see some awesome other shades they come in too…
